Star Wars: Rivals Mobile Game Announced

A brand new Star Wars themed mobile game has just been announced. Say hello to Star Wars: Rivals. There was no word concerning the exact date that the game would be released. You can pre-register for the game on Google Play, but not the Apple Store yet. Check out more about the game below…

Today, Lucasfilm and Disney officially announced Star Wars: Rivals — the first real-time Star Wars competitive action shooter for mobile devices. Highlighting legendary clashes, the character roster is an all-star lineup spanning multiple eras of Star Wars, allowing players to experience the saga’s most famous conflicts. The gameplay is rooted in cover-based PvP skirmishes where players build the ultimate team to challenge opponents in combat arenas.

Star Wars: Rivals is available for pre-registration on Google Play now. Players who download from Google Play will get a special bonus: exclusive access to death trooper support units. Available for a limited time at launch, death troopers (Rogue One‘s black-armor clad elite Imperial forces) fight alongside players in PvP skirmishes using advanced weaponry to lay down cover fire. That’s something even Director Krennic would love.
